Re: Abby and Callen
G chuckled. "Abby, if anyone can find a way to do it, I'm sure it's you. We need you in top form, after all. You'll come through."
He didn't know most of Gibbs' team well outside of Gibbs and Abby, but he'd heard a bit about Ducky. And, knowing Abby, it likely wasn't too hard to have a good relationship with either, sans companionable bickering. Still, G thought it was part of what made a boring stakeout interesting. If you couldn't banter over candy-wrapper origami shapes, what did that leave? serious conversations that took your focus off the target? Heart-to-hearts that were better left to knowing glances and silent nods? G'd take a partner to banter with over either option.
"We will," he said with a decisive nod Sam had suggested it before and then they'd gotten caught up with Savannah and the holidays. It was time to get things back on track. "Plenty of downtime to poke around until caseload increases."
The more they poked, the better their chances of going back to where they belonged.
